2017 Season General Discussion Thread

[Bellhorn04]

The Dodgers are a Kershaw shutout against SDP from an 11 game losing streak. 1-10 last 11.

 

That's baseball for ya.

So, Pablo hit an absolute bomb tonight in Chicago... Go figure

After going a record 0 for 39

Yeah, but it's his time of the year. He gets one two month long period per year.

[a700hitter]

Yeah, but it's his time of the year. He gets one two month long period per year.

I think that it is no longer the case. He will be lucky if he has 2 good weeks,

[OH FOY]

17 in a row for Cleveland.

[Northern Star]

17 in a row for Cleveland.

 

Look Cleveland, this is getting f***ing ridiculous. Lose a goddamn game already.

[moonslav59]

No, let them get this winning thing out of their system early.

[Northern Star]

does Cleveland play the Yankees again in the regular season? Because that will do it.

[Northern Star]

That's baseball for ya.

 

And all the talk of breaking the Mariners' record.

[Thunder]

Think the Dodgers fire Roberts if they continue to fizzle out the rest of the way and lose the NLDS?

[moonslav59]

What's up with the Cubs?

 

Their getting shelled by the Brewers 14-0.

 

They have 6 guys with 21+ HRs and two with an OPS over .900.

 

Wade Davis as a closer.

 

Arrieta, Lester, Lackey, Quintana and Hendricks as a rotation!

 

All this, and they're 3 games worse than us.

 

Our old friends...

 

Rizzo .280 31 102 (.925 OPS)

 

Lester 10-7 4.35 / 1.30 WHIP

 

Lackey 11-11 4.65/ 1.28

 

Uehara 3-4 3.98/1.16 (43 IP)

 

[Youk Of The Nation]

Dodgers losing again, 4-3 in the fourth. They've lost 8 in a row and 9 of 10 and they're still 10 games up in the division and 42 games over .500. Insane.

[moonslav59]

Houston gets swept by the A's in a double header 11-1 and 11-4.

 

Maybe the last series of the season will mean something.

Well, they're tied with Cleveland now, so perhaps that last series will determine who, among us or them, will host Game 1 of the ALDS.

[OH FOY]

Nationals only 5 games out in loss column for best record. There is time very little, but it's still possible.

Wow, what a nosedive.

[Spudboy]

Think the Dodgers fire Roberts if they continue to fizzle out the rest of the way and lose the NLDS?

 

No.

[OH FOY]

Nationals only 3 behind Dodgers in loss column for best record. WoW!

[moonslav59]

The turtle and the hare comes to mind.

[Thunder]

If Sale wins the Cy Young over Kluber, I'll be absolutely stunned.

[Northern Star]

If Cleveland breaks the record I'll be absolutely stunned.

[Thunder]

If Cleveland breaks the record I'll be absolutely stunned.

 

It's a 12:10 start tomorrow, Buck Farmer against Mike Clevinger, a matchup that overwhelmingly favors Cleveland.

[Kimmi]

If Sale wins the Cy Young over Kluber, I'll be absolutely stunned.

 

IMO, Kluber has passed Sale as the favorite.

[Kimmi]

If Cleveland breaks the record I'll be absolutely stunned.

 

What an incredible run. I'm happy for Tito.

[Northern Star]

I wonder how many people realize how almost impossible it is to win 21 baseball games in a row.

[Northern Star]

IMO, Kluber has passed Sale as the favorite.

 

I won't be too upset if Kluber gets it. He deserves it.

Yesterday Cashner posted in the 4 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 8 Rs but only 1 ER? Can someone explain to me like a 10 year old, how is this possible?

[Bellhorn04]

Easy. In the 4th inning of the game Cashner gave up the 8 runs. Only 1 was earned because there was an error with 2 outs and 7 of the runs scored after the error. If the error hadn't been made he would only have given up the 1 run.

 

I would almost bet one of the game announcers used the phrase 'opened up the floodgates' LOL

Lester is such a turd sometimes.

Thanks Bell, so after that error with 2 outs, he could allow 20 more Rs and still would be only 1 ER?

 

Didn't know that.
